Parava

Parava is not a movie that specifically talks about pigeon racing. The film uses pigeons as a connecting link to establish a story about friendship that happens on many levels. If any of you have followed Soubin Shahir on his social media platforms, you would know about his peculiar skills at presenting visuals and Parava… Continue reading Parava

Matchbox

When the script you got is a wafer thin one that deals with the tried and tested formula of a teenage love at first sight story, there is very little scope for improvisation. Thattathin Marayathu was one movie that managed to package this thought in to an entertaining movie format, but director Sivram Mony’s Matchbox… Continue reading Matchbox

Adam Joan

When you look at the characters and their emotions, there is sensibility in Jinu Abraham’s Adam Joan. But the movie has this parallel mood of being a suspense thriller. That path is its highlight and due to the lack of enough intrigue in that area, Adam Joan becomes an average passable thriller. Adam is a… Continue reading Adam Joan

Pullikkaran Staraa

Pullikkaran Staraa is that film which will give you a tough time when someone asks you what the movie is about. Written by Ratheesh Ravi and directed by Shyamdhar, this movie is pointlessly going behind an elderly teacher trainer.

Velipadinte Pusthakam

When the basic story is a mixture of predictable pattern and practically unconvincing ideas, it is very difficult for us to root for the emotions. Velipadinte Pusthakam is that festival entertainer which tries to do too much on a very brittle base. With only cinematography making a positive impact, this wasn’t the package one would… Continue reading Velipadinte Pusthakam

Oru Visheshapetta Biriyanikissa

Oru Visheshapetta Biriyanikissa had that potential to be the sweet typical vintage Malayalam movie. Much like the old Sathyan Anthikkadu films, this one has a place named Velappan Chavadi at the center of all the developments. But Kiran Narayanan can’t conceive the idea in an engaging way by connecting all the subplots to give us… Continue reading Oru Visheshapetta Biriyanikissa

Nawal Enna Jewel

Nawal Enna Jewel directed by Renjilal Damodaran is testing you in all possible ways. In my 7th standard I was part of a drama done by my classmates and I can confidently say that we were able to create much better dialogues at that age when compared to the extremely melodramatic, unreal dialogues we get to… Continue reading Nawal Enna Jewel
